Federal Court Litigation

Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP recognizes that litigation in federal court demands capabilities different from those required in state court. We draw on our experience as well as our deep substantive and technical knowledge to efficiently pursue success in litigation involving significant financial stakes or complex federal law issues. We are well-versed in the judicial mindset: while several members of our team are former law clerks to district judges, many others regularly interact with federal judges at seminar presentations and on local bar committees.

Our lawyers regularly appear before the U.S. district courts of Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, and South Carolina, and we have pursued federal issues and established new law in both district court and the circuit courts of appeal. We have frequently represented clients in high-stakes business disputes and cases resulting in published opinions in connection with a wide range of federal laws.
